Short-Term Relationship Between Air Pollution and Mortality from Respiratory and Cardiovascular Diseases in China, 2008-2020.

Most existing epidemiological studies on the impact of air pollution on noncommunicable diseases have focused on urban areas, rather than nationwide studies that include rural areas. This study utilized a time-stratified case-crossover study that included deaths registered in the National Mortality Surveillance System from 2008 to 2020. Atmospheric particulate matter (PM and PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO), sulfur dioxide (SO), and carbon monoxide (CO) were evaluated via the National Nested Air Quality Prediction Modeling System.

Mortality risk of short-term air pollution exposure in urban and rural Chinese populations: A nationwide time-stratified case-crossover study, 2008-2020.

Background: Epidemiologic evidence underpinning current World Health Organization Air Quality Guidelines (WHO AQGs) is primarily derived from urban populations, which remains challenging for implementing the guidelines in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where most people reside in rural or less developed areas. Here, we aimed to characterize the associations between ambient air pollution and mortality in Chinese populations living in both urban and rural areas, where rural populations have not been studied previously at national level.

Methods: In this nationwide time-stratified case-crossover study, we extracted non-accidental death cases of all ages in both urban and rural areas during 2008-2020 from National Mortality Surveillance System, which covered 40,300 representative township-level administration units from 29 provinces, representing nearly 24 % of Chinese population.

National and provincial burden of disease attributable to fine particulate matter air pollution in China, 1990-2021: an analysis of data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021.

Background: Fine particulate matter (PM) is the leading environmental risk factor for mortality and disability worldwide. We aimed to evaluate the temporal trend in, and spatial distribution of, the disease burden attributable to PM in China from 1990 to 2021.

Methods: Based on the methodology framework and general analytical strategies applied in the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2021, we calculated the numbers, age-standardised rates, and percentage of deaths and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) attributable to PM air pollution from 1990 to 2021 at the national and provincial level in China, by disease, sex, and age groups.

Association between healthy lifestyle and cognitive decline, all-cause mortality, and mortality from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: a 10-year population-based prospective cohort study.

Introduction: The association between cognitive function, healthy lifestyle, and mortality remains understudied in large Chinese cohorts.

Methods: In this nationwide 10-year prospective study of 24,657 older adults, we assessed Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) categories (<18, 18 to 23, 24 to 27, 28 to 30) and a seven-component lifestyle score (0 to 7) for their relationships with all-cause, cardiovascular, and cerebrovascular mortality.

Results: Compared with individuals scoring 28 to 30 on the MMSE, lower scores were linked to elevated all-cause and cerebrovascular mortality but not cardiovascular mortality.

Effects of combining positive psychological intervention and lifestyle intervention on improving cardiovascular health for at-risk older adults: study protocol of a Chinese multicentric community-based randomised controlled trial (ACCOMPLI-CH).

Introduction: Cardiovascular health is influenced by various factors, including not only physiological and behavioural ones but also psychological well-being. However, when developing comprehensive preventive approaches, psychological interventions often receive less attention, despite their possible multiple mechanisms on cardiovascular health. Incorporating both healthy behaviour and psychological well-being promotion would be a more efficacious preventive approach.
